Ipython saves the readline history in "atexit" handler
(atexit_operations()). It was not run because the python interpreter
was not destroyed (and atexit handler not run). If you are running
from python code, atexit handler still gets run when the python
process is ended.
You can get around this by running atexit_operations yourself when you
exit. Though it may be that we should really run atexit_operations
when we leave ipython session, as opposed to relying on atexit handler
alone.
Perhaps you can try modding iplib.py by adding
self.atexit_operations() in the end of interact() after while loop.
